S&Man
Directed by J.T. Petty
Produced by HDNet Films, Circle of Confusion
A deliberately disorienting pseudo-documentary that blurs the line between real interviews and fictional horror, using found-footage aesthetics and voyeuristic themes to create sustained paranoia and moral unease.
S&Man (also known as Sandman) is a 2006 pseudo-documentary film that examines the underground subculture of horror films. It combines real interviews with indie horror film makers and a scripted plot that does not immediately come into focus until the second half of the film.
